Who We Are
Matt Lauer - acoustic guitar, vocals

Born and raised in the fine land of Cincinntucky, Ohio, Matt got more than his fair share of homegrown redneck noise during his formidable years. This, combined with the fallout from the nearby nuclear power plant, have been the two biggest influences on his acoustic guitar playing. After three years on the road with the now "de-funked" Emmet Otter's Jug Band Explosion, he settled in Chicago where he quickly realized that hot licks and cold weather do not go together. After lighting up the Chicago underground scene for a couple of years (underground subway that is), he packed up his belongings and headed for the promised land of Northern California where he has started his latest work: world domination via acoustic music. The plans are slow-going but the ride has been great.
